How old is a Hillerich Bradsby No 50H wooden bat?

Answer 1

The bats that have the H&B brand in the oval trademark, rather than Louisville Slugger are harder to date. The H&B brand denotes a lower grade and lower priced retail bat. These bats were produced from the 1020's through the 1970's. The year the bat was made could effect the value.

The number 50 cannot be used to date the bat. Hillerich & Bradsby Co. Louisville Slugger has used different oval center brands in their history. By identifying the center label, trade marks, and patens you can narrow down the year to what era the bat was made.
